Exegesis
The aorist participle syntripsasa {συντρίψασα | sun-tríp-sa-sa} precedes the finite verb katecheen {κατέχεεν | ka-té-khe-en} in classic aorist participle sequence, denoting an action (“after breaking the flask”) that is completed just before the main action (“she poured”).
In context — Mark 14:3
And while He was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly ; after breaking the alabaster flask, she poured it on His head.
